Switching off notifications

Hey everyone,
Wondering if any of you can help clarify something for me.
I've switched off notifications through Notification Centre for all apps, but I've been told that this doesn't fully switch notifications off. Is that correct?
I assumed that when you switch them off through the phone's settings, they'd no longer push to your phone. Is that the case? Or do you also need to switch off notifications through the app itself? If so, what is the point of being able to move apps to 'Not in notification centre' in the settings?
I'm looking to save a little bit of data and imporve my battery life. Will moving apps to 'Not in notification centre' list assist with this? I understand notifications don't use much data, but they do use a little, and want to stop them doing so.
Ay help is greatly appreciatted.
Thanks

Looks like it's a mystery to everyone, not just me!?!

  • How to switch off the plugin update notification?

    I am getting the ''"Some plugins used by this page are out of date"'' notification on every page with Flash.
    The version of Adobe Flash that I am using right now is v.10 - I don't want to update to v.11 'cause v.10 shows much better performance on my PC.
    How could I switch this notification off once and for all?

    You can set the plugins.hide_infobar_for_outdated_plugin pref to true on the about:config page.

  • Switch off Express Notification of Priority 1 Workitems

    Hello Community,
    is it possible to switch off the express notification for prio 1 Workitems ?
    Is there any user exit or enhancement point, where i can affect workitems notifcation
    properties ?
    In wort case, I consider to make a modification...
    Thanks in advance
    Daniel

    Basically I agree with you. But í know from experience, that users responds where sensible by changing
    cosmetic configuration.
    We´re using prio 1 for incoming invoices which have cash discount relevance...The amount of documents is so high that the pop-up from express notification is an annoying damage for the receiving users. But the red highlighting is a good and fast way
    to filter the relevant workitems in workplace...
    I´will searching for an alternative way to highlight the workitems in workplace and deadlines are also an interesting way
    that i´ll analyze.
    Is there anybody else who can tell me how to highlight workitems in workplace without giving them the prio1 ?
    kind regards

  • Notification Switch off in Lumia 710

    How do i switch off the notification which pops up on the top of the screen when a message is recieved .. ?? I use a Lumia 710.

    Hi vlabla,
    Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
    There is no setting to set your phone to switch on/off as per to a schedule. This is not possible with any application either, as they cannot access the core functions of the phone (such as power down etc.) by default. 
    So, I am afraid your only choice would be to put your phone on silent (press volume up and down and then tap the top right of the screen), check that there are no applications running (long press back button) and switch off Bluetooth, WiFi and location services to minimise the battery consumption. There are applications that will ease your access to these services, such as this.
    Hope this helps!

  • WiFi issue: Is it possible to change WiFi settings in a way that it does not switch off in the screen-lock mode?

    I have iPhone 4 and 4s. WiFi is automatically switching off on both phones when they are inactive (screens are locked). It is connecting back after some seconds I unlocke the phone. But because I have no subscribtion for the Cellular data usage, I am being cuted from Internet all screen-locked period. All that time people are not able to reach me by email, skype, or other programs using Internet. It is quite uncomfortable, especially when waiting for something important!  Is there a way to change this setting?

    The iPhone does not shut down WiFi completely when asleep. It does use a power conservation mode. You should still receive notifications. There is no setting for this. It should work for you as it does for me if you don't have a network problem.
    There are lots of problems reported with D-Link routers and they don't have a great reputation. If there is no help available from D-Link you may want to consider installing the DD-WRT firmware. It's available for the D-Link 615. See here for information: http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index
    By the way, you do have Notifications enabled for the Apps you are talking about right? See Settings -> Notifications and Mail, etc.

  • I have a frustrating problem with my iPhone 5 post ios8 installation. The ring tone won't sound when phone is locked/switched off, although the vibration does work. I think it has something to do with "do not disturb"

    Hi, I have a frustrating problem that seems to have occurred post iOS 8 installation. When my iphone5 is switched off the ring tone fails to sound i only get the vibration. If i am using my phone and a have an incoming call then the ring tone works as normal. I think it has something to do with "do not disturb" ... i see from the menu in "do not disturb" that under the heading "silence" there are two options "always" and "only when the phone is locked" This does not seem to make sense as i have to choose one or the other!
    If anybody can help advise me on this problem i would be very grateful.
    Thanks

    Hello Mogulman46,
    So what that means is when you have Do Not Disturb turned on, you may have an alert depending on the setting and how you are using your iPhone. So if it is set to Always, then that means that no matter what, your iPhone will not be notified. If it set to Only while the iPhone is locked, then that means that you will not get notification when your iPhone is locked but you will get notifications if your iPhone is being used. Also keep in mind the settings All Calls From can be set to certain contacts like Favorites, Everyone or no one. If you are using Do Not Disturb and you do not need it, then turn it off. 
    Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • I have rearranged all icons on the second and third pages to have a just a photo on my home, but if i switch off the iphone when i restarted it all the icons come back in the old position on the home and second page. I have ios5.

    I have rearranged all icons on the second and third pages to have a just a photo on my home, but if i switch off the iphone when i restarted it all the icons come back in the old position on the home and second page. I have ios5.

    you can suggest it here - http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    And it is only a problem if you want a blank first screen.  Personally, it would drive me nuts always having to swipe over one page to get to my apps - the only time I unlock my iPhone is to use it or run an app, so no, I have no need nor desire to have a first screen with no icons at all.
    But, if they'd put it in as an option so people like yourself can also have what they want, that's fine too    So send them your feedback (they actually do listen - iOS 5 includes a number of things people have been asking for on these forums, like being able to delete individual entries from the call history, inproved alerts/notifications, being able to opt out of all the location based data they collect,...).

  • Switching-off the acceptance of changes while synchronize

    Hi
    Whenever I synchronize my BB with Desktop Software I have to accept every single change I made in my address book or the calendar.
    Is it possible to switch-off this acceptance? I just want to start the synchronization and then my BB should do the rest by itself. I don't want to klick ten times while synchronization.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Switching off gnome-shell alert sounds

    Here's something that's been driving me up the wall: Skype respects the setting of "Sound Effects", which in itself is kind of alright.
    But the settings only let me choose between off or some sound theme, so I can't set the alert sounds to "none", while still being able to hear an incoming call in skype. How can I switch off these infuriating pops and blubs seperately? Relevant for volume change and typing, tab-complete and so on.
    Thanks in advance

    Try disable notifications in system-settings in gnome-shell.

  • Switching off DEBUG messages in the admin console

    Hi
    I have the problem that I see a lot of debug information on the log when starting the admin console and navigation through the pages. It makes the admin console VERY slow. This must be some sort of low level debug stuff which I'm not able to witch off.
    I already made sure that debugging is switched off for the server (AdminConsole->Debug) and no diagnostic options are turned on. I also checked for a debug command line option in the start script.
    Some example debug output:
    DEBUG struts.util.PropertyMessageResources (PropertyMessageResources.java:284) - Saving message key '.assistant.jms.server.resumeconsumption.title
    DEBUG util.logging.Logger (Logger.java:118) - Delegating to RequestDispatcher for URI /jsp/contentheader/Messages.jsp
    Thank for any hints!

    You could add a dynamic text field to your app, add it to the stage and send notifications for whatever you need to debug.
    e.g. Just as you would use the trace("this message "+variableValue); in Flash to debug using the output window.
    You would use
    textfield_name.appendText("this message "+variableValue+"\n");
    or if you were listening for error you could use something like:
    private function errorXML(e:Event):void {
    textfield_name.appendText("XML Error:"+ e);
    I'm not sure how or if you can utilise the Xcode organiser with an AIR app.

  • When display switches off I can't get it back without forced restart

    When display switches off due to low battery power & I can't get it back even when I plug in to the mains and have to force the PC to restart.
    Is there a pref somewhere to disable this?

    Hello
    When the display goes off exactly? How much capacity has battery at this time? 5%? More?
    Try to set this to higher level.
    When you work with your notebook and battery level comes to low battery level and the alarm alert will be shown in task bar but you will be able to continue your work several minutes or to connect AC power supply.
    I am afraid your notebook reaches critical battery level and then is maybe too late for any action.
    Set Low battery level to 10% and when the notification is shown connect AC adapter immediately.
    I presume the display must not be off at all.

  • Optical audio in Lion switches off after 30 seconds

    I have a new iMac 27" Computer purchased November 2010 with Snow Leopard on. I have upgraded to Lion OS the day it came out.
    When I started using it, I noticed that the Optical steam (red beam) would switch off after roughly 30 seconds. I researched this issue and found that OS X powers down the Sound Hardware after 30 seconds if not used, as it is fine under Bootcamp with Windows 7.
    So I used a program called Sound 1.0,1 to stop the Optical connection switching off, by playing a silent sound every 20 seconds. But now Lion does not support PowerPC programs by Rosetta, so am back to the original problem, that if the hardware has switched off, I miss the first 2 or 3 seconds of the start of the audio, like Skype announcing that some has signed in / out or on MSN as a message notification.
    Any ideas to sort this annoying problem be most grateful.
    Peter

    Thanks for your help Andrew.
    Have tried that and seems to be working at the mo (touch wood). See how it goes.
    Can't tell you what a difference it is compared to the monitors speakers.
    Thanks Again

    Try:

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why is my ipad still using battery power when switched off & locked away with no one using it?

    Why is my IPad still discharging battery when switched off and locked away - with no one using it?  Charged it to 100% on holiday and locked in safe.  2 days later it was at 76%!

    How is it "switched off"? Are you pressing the button on the top so the screen goes black? If so, that isn't shut off, but put to sleep. I will still be doing things in the background and using battery power.
    To shut it fully off, press and hold the button on top, you will get a notification on the screen that says "Slide to power off". Slide the button and it will turn completly off.
    If this is how you switched it off, let us know and we will see what else we can figure out.
